Abstract (en)
The invention relates to an extrusion head for the continuous extrusion of a multilumen medical tube, consisting of a monolithic sleeve and a mandrel embedded therein, characterised in that the mandrel consists of a first part (4a) and a second part (4b), where the first part (4a) of the mandrel is provided with an external thread and with fitter openings arranged circumferentially, in which the needles (5) are fixed, inside the first part (4a) of the mandrel an air supply channel is located, at the end of which there is a threaded hole for screwing in a fastening screw (6) immobilising the needles (5), the second part (4b) of the mandrel is provided with an internal thread matching the external thread of the first part (4a) of the mandrel. The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing a multilumen medical tube, characterised in that the head according to invention is mounted to the extruder, then a plastic is loaded into an extruder, mixed and pushed through the extruder screw while it is heated, then said plastic is extruded through the gap formed between the monolithic sleeve (3) and the mandrel assuming the shape of said gap, then the formed tube is successively pulled through the extruder, guided through the cooling bath with coolant and cut to a pre-set length. The invention also relates to a multilumen disposable medical tube with reduced weight, characterised by a diameter of 1.3 to 12 mm
